Reply to "VW Pan reinforcement"

I have a dune buggy (on full-size pan) that I plan to do a similar perimeter frame on.  The dune buggy is a one-piece body with no door openings. It has no steel subframe so a perimeter frame is needed.

The CMC subframe also features a channel (the 2x4" steel) for hot heated air to get to the front of the car (a lot is probably lost since it was not insulated but it has feeds for defrosting too), a steel cross beam under the dash to hold front hood hinges plus support for the rear of the chassis. Plus the 2x4" frame raises the fiberglass body above the floor pan - not sure how the body would mate to the pan without it?  Wouldn't wheel wells be lowered?
